  • Contract Summary

    This purchase is for an opto-electronic (lightwave) network analyser and is part of a project that aims at establishing an open experimental facility for the UK research community that will enable its users to characterise the bandwidth of their photonic components and circuits up to very high frequencies. The new facility will enable the high speed characterisation of components and circuits that convert electrical signals into optical signals, optical signals into electrical signals as well components that have electrical inputs and outputs or optical inputs and outputs. This allows testing of for example optical modulators, photodetectors, transmitter modules, receiver modules, etc. The frequency range that the equipment will be capable of is such that a deeper understanding of components and circuits will be gained, allowing development of components that can serve future application requirements in optical data communications and beyond. How to obtain Tender Documents: The Tender documents can be accessed when logged into In-Ted by selecting 'View Details' on the relevant tender advert and clicking the 'Express Interest' tab. Once in the tender there are five tabs - 'Tender', 'ITT - documents', 'Correspondence', 'Clarifications' and 'History'.

Opting In and Opting Out Please note you are required to 'Opt In' before you can access the full tender document set. The 'Opt Out' functionality will also be available throughout the duration of the tender process. Opting out will give you the option of declaring you no longer want to receive any further communication in relation to this tender. You can choose to 'Opt In' at any time during the tender process if you initially decide to 'Opt Out'.
